Death Valley Desert

Death Valley National Park is located in the east of Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. It is known for its dry and hot conditions, and is probably considered the Desert of North America. It has its lowest point in North America at the Badwater Basin, below sea level at 282ft. Surrounding the Basin are the snow cap Panamint range mountains standing 11,000ft tall on one side and the Black mountains on the other side. It is the largest park in the United States, not including Alaska, and is rich in minerals like borax and different salts. Death valley is a perfect place to capture photos of desolated areas with its numerous ghost towns and vast areas of nothingness. I visited the Death Valley National Park at the end of April 2009 and beginning of May to get a good glimpse of the park when the weather conditions were not too hot or too cold. Here are some pictures from the trip:
